That such spots are the main symptom of development of vitiligo. The internal organs remain unchanged, not broken structure of the skin, the disease is characterized only by a change of hue of dermis. As a side effect can be identified only mental disorder because the carriers of the disease have facilities and suffer due to their appearance (vitiligo, initial stage-the photo in the article below).

Diagnostics

To Distinguish it from other disease is quite simple, especially the doctor. White spots on the skin are normal, that is, there is itching and peeling, cover smooth. To diagnose the disease is easy because the human body becomes the likeness of the geographical maps with unusual pieces of discolored areas. Most often localized areas on the face and neck, genital area, hands, forearms, wrists and knees.

Cause of disease

Vitiligo – this is not fully understood pathology. However, in several studies the doctors had to draw some conclusions. For example, the fact that a large value in her appearance are:

  • Migrated previously serious diseases, especially infectious nature;
  • The constant tension;
  • Diseases of internal organs chronic course;
  • Contact synthetic fabric and leather;
  • Physical injuries
  • Intoxication
  • Heredity.

Many doctors are inclined to say that vitiligo is an autoimmune disease and these processes play a crucial role in the development of pathology. Therefore, special attention is given to the imbalance in the immune system.

Diagnostic studies of patients showed that many of them have insufficient zinc, copper and iron in the body. Patients also complained of problems with the digestive system.

Interestingly, doctors were able to cure vitiligo patients after deworming. This parasite disrupts the endocrine system, which leads to insufficient amount of vital elements. Therefore, even harmless (as many believe) worms can be a provocateur.

Vitiligo: stage bolezni

  1. Nachalnaya.
  2. Stabilna.
  3. Progresivna.
  4. Repigmentation.

Take a closer look. There are 4 stages of vitiligo. The initial is characterized by the appearance of one devoid of pigmentation spots. Second – a state of stability that is depigmented area is not modified, but does not disappear. In progress stage begins the growth of existing spots and appearance of new ones. Sometimes they grow literally lightning fast. At the stage of pigmentation reverts to the color of the skin in the affected areas. This may be a consequence of therapy or as an independent phenomenon that is extremely rare.

Vitiligo reviews

Cases

Classified depending on the location of spots and their size. To date, displayed a few basic forms:

1. Localized:

  • Focal – more common in children, depigmented patches are in one place.
  • Segmental-lesions surrounded by hyperpigmentation skin. Mostly on one side of the body. Rare cases when it is a progressive stage or begins spreading beyond the selected area.
  • Mucosa – the formation of spots in the scrotum or vulva, the mucous membrane of the lips.

2. Generalized:

  • Misc – a combination of several forms of vitiligo.
  • Acrofacial – the formation of white spots on the fingers, face, and wrists.
  • Vulgar – scattered over the body a large number of lesions.

3. Universal. Is characterized by a progressive increase of white spots over the body and face. Thus, the human skin can fully become discolored, as well as the hair on the head, eyelashes and eyebrows. May remain small Islands of healthy skin.

Vitiligo: stage

Also distinguish nevus of Seton and post-inflammatory vitiligo. The first photo (which is above) species demonstrates that it is. Tumor red or brownish tint a little heightened above the skin and is surrounded by a depigmented spot. Requires observation of a dermatologist, but disappears on its own. Similar pathology of the melanoma, so if the doctor doubts that it is a nevus of Seton, he is having surgery to remove this area of the dermis.

Post-inflammatory vitiligo – the result of diseases of the skin. For example, it may occur after eczema, psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, or neurodermatitis.

Vitiligo treatment

This process requires great patience, as it lasts a very long time, and the result to achieve is quite difficult. There are cases that the depigmented spots disappear on their own, but found the phenomenon extremely rare.

Initially, the physician must identify the cause of vitiligo. Treatment depends on it. If there are irregularities in the systems of the body, the doctor focuses on fixing them. A drug that could have cured of vitiligo is not yet developed. But treatments do exist.

When the cause is not yet identified, doesn't make sense to treat vitiligo. The initial stage would move in a progressive, and depigmented patches will be more. In this case, the effectiveness of drug treatment was observed only in 40%.

It is Important at this time to support the patient mentally and emotionally. Dermatologists prescribe a sedative, because stress and other mental condition can aggravate the disease. The following – proper nutrition. The doctor is a diet that will help a person to restore metabolism. It is also necessary to improve the condition of the digestive tract. Among the procedures known to photochemotherapy. On the affected skin apply ointment containing the photosensitizer, after which these places are exposed to radiation. Additionally for ingestion appoint:

  • Contains placenta remedies – it consists of substances that contribute to the rapid formation of pigments.
  • To stimulate the production of the pigment melanin to help of copper-containing drugs.

How is the treatment of the children?

Vitiligo (early stage – photo below) in children is not treated treatments for the reason that they have a very sensitive skin, and any impact can badly affect the health of the baby. These children are under the supervision of a dermatologist.
